Description: Anthropologist Márcio Meira analyzes the process of colonization of the Amazon Northwest region since its genesis, centered on the so-called "Aviamiento" system, one of the structuring factors of the sociology of this region. The a Debt-Servitude System ("Aviamiento") is characterized by asymmetric barter-to-credit trade, establishing a debt relationship and a hierarchical network of domination between bosses and customers. Indigenous people impacted by the persistence of this debt slavery (or bonded labour), understood as a colonial condition, have been able to work for a long time on the margins of the regime of violence, renewing their old fluid and open social system. In an interdisciplinary methodological approach to the colonial process, this work establishes a dialogue between history and memory.
